Paternity leave could change the world. A small mountain of studies and white papers and statistics show that men who take leave have stronger relationships with their wives, a better bond with their children, and more appreciation for the running of their household. It’s common sense. A dedication to family, backed by work and colleagues, is the foundation to a just, caring, and fair society. This is why if we are lucky enough to have leave, we should take it. And all of us should demand it. Paid leave lifts everyone.
